Cell Structure and Function in Bacteria
and Archaea
Chapter 3
I. Cell Shape and Size
• 3.1 Cell Morphology
• 3.2 Cell Size and the Significance of
Smallness

3.1 Cell Morphology
• Morphology = cell shape
• Major cell morphologies (Figure 3.1)
– Coccus (pl. cocci): spherical or ovoid
– Rod: cylindrical shape
– Spirillum: spiral shape
• Cells with unusual shapes
– Spirochetes, appendaged bacteria, and
filamentous bacteria
• Many variations on basic morphological types

3.1 Cell Morphology
• Morphology typically does not predict physiology1,
ecology, phylogeny2, etc. of a prokaryotic cell
• Selective forces may be involved in setting the
morphology
– Optimization for nutrient uptake (small cells and
those with high surface-to-volume ratio)
– Swimming motility in viscous environments or
near surfaces (helical or spiral-shaped cells)
– Gliding motility (filamentous bacteria)

2 the evolutionary history of a group of organisms

3.2 Cell Size and the Significance of
Smallness
– Advantages to being small (Figure 3.3)
• Small cells have more surface area relative to cell
volume than large cells (i.e., higher S/V)
– support greater nutrient exchange per unit cell
volume
– tend to grow faster than larger cells

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Marmara University – Enve3003 Env. Eng. Microbiology – Assist. Prof. Deniz AKGÜL
3.3 The Cytoplasmic Membrane in
Bacteria and Archaea
• Cytoplasmic membrane: Cytoplasmic membrane = Cell membrane= plasma membrane
– Thin structure that surrounds the cell
– 6-8 nm thick
– Vital barrier that separates cytoplasm from
environment
– Highly selective permeable barrier
– Enables specific metabolites and excretion of
waste products
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Marmara University – Enve3003 Env. Eng. Microbiology – Assist. Prof. Deniz AKGÜL
• Composition of Membranes
– General structure is phospholipid bilayer (Figure 3.4)
• Contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic components
– Can exist in many different chemical forms as a result of variation in the groups attached to the glycerol backbone
– Fatty acids point inward to form hydrophobic environment; hydrophilic portions remain exposed to external environment or the cytoplasm

3.4 Functions of the Cytoplasmic
Membrane (Figure 3.8)
• Permeability Barrier
– Polar and charged molecules must be
transported
– Transport proteins accumulate solutes against
the concentration gradient
• Protein Anchor
– Holds transport proteins in place
• Energy Conservation

Figure 3.8 The major functions of the cytoplasmic membrane.
Permeability barrier: Prevents leakage and functions as a gateway for transport of nutrients into, and wastes out of, the cell
Protein anchor: Site of many proteins that participate in transport, bioenergetics, and chemotaxis
Energy conservation: Site of generation and use of the proton motive force

Although structurally weak, the cytoplasmic membrane has many
important cellular functions.
